Every Person Has a Story
What's yours?
___________________________________________
Family history lasts about two generations. After that important details and dates are often lost to time or the distortions of memory.
For example, do you know how your Great Grandparents met? Do you know who had those dazzling blue eyes first in the family?
Wouldn't it be great to show your kids a video of your mom and dad telling the family story?
Add interviews with you, your siblings, or other family members to expand the living family tree.

Why Share Your Story?
Telling stories is one of the most powerful means to teach and inspire. Stories convey the culture, history, and values that unite us.
A good story engages our curiosity, emotions and imagination.
Stories provide an opportunity to learn from another person's experience and they can shape, strengthen or challenge our opinions and values. When a story catches our attention and engages us, we readily absorb the message and meaning within it. We feel connected with the storyteller.
